Question
Patient Information: Female, 5 years old, from Fuzhou, Fujian Province. Condition Description (time of onset, main symptoms, etc.): At 1 and a half weeks old, a hemangioma was found on the back of the right foot. Last July. Two small round spots were discovered in the same place in October last year. They may grow.
Answer
Hemangiomas are tumors that originate from vascular tissue. Generally, hemangiomas in the body are asymptomatic in the initial stage. As the tumor grows, it can compress or displace adjacent organs, causing various symptoms. If the growth rate of the hemangioma is too fast, a weekly check-up should be scheduled, and the results should be compared with those of the previous examination. If it is found that the lesion range of the hemangioma has decreased, the surface color has faded, and the skin bulge has become flatter, it indicates that the lesion of the hemangioma is in a stable or regression phase, and it can be continued to be observed and wait for regression.
